Socio-cultural aspects of the relationship between the EU and East Asia, with particular reference to China

This paper presents a comparative study about words and about sovereignty; about the ancestry of the words that construct the discourse of sovereignty in the context of China; about the analysis and interpretation of the civic discourse and the rhetoric that construct Chinese sovereignty in the field of international relations and foreign policy, and about the consequences of this analysis and interpretation for the formulation of EU foreign policy with regard to East Asia, especially China, and the United States, as well as the feedback that notions of sovereignty have on the construction of Chinese civic discourse. For many contemporary Chinese thinkers, China should modernise without repeating the process of modernism, should leap over the system of values established by the Enlightenment that seemed to justify imperialism, and develop an economy and institutions that would serve to create wealth and to raise the standard of living of the population, without imposing values that are advantageous to a “West” that is already wealthy. They have identified a cultural dissidence within developed societies that advocates the values of postmodernism as a way of rejecting the values of modernism. In this context, they advocate the possibility of modernising their society without having to accept the imposition of values that originated in societies that have already begun to question them. In this way, China could reach postmodernism in a relatively short period of history without having to pass through the traumas that characterised the development of modernism in the “West” over a period of centuries (it would be difficult not to discern echoes of Mao Zedong’s “Great Leap Forward” in these Chinese versions of the postmodernist paradigm). The communicative strategy to be adopted by the EU in the rhetorical construction of its dialogue with China should be fully cognizant of and sensitive to the criteria of China’s moral order as outlined in this study and specified in the Five Principles (mutual respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity; non-aggression; non-interference in each other’s internal affairs; equality and mutual benefit; and peaceful coexistence), the Spirit of Shanghai and the ASEAN Way, with special emphasis on mutual recognition, parity of esteem, and mutual benefit. Any other discourse will be perceived semiotically as unilateralist and exploitative. Respect for diversity is paramount, and the ability to harmonise diversity is a major function of Chinese political and cultural thought. “Harmony” and “peace” are the same word in classical Chinese: hé ( hépíng is the modern word for “peace” and héshēng is the modern word for “harmony”). As a result, any practice that produced harmony, such as music or cooking, was a form of training for maintaining peace, social cohesion and solidarity in society (or among nations).

追寻村落--对两种不同的人类学田野研究的省思

人类学视野下的村落研究所引起的争议,促使人类学者不断地反省和思考人类学田野研究的理论和方法."回访"与"超越"是两种不同的研究路径,也是对人类学田野研究的有益省思."回访"不仅仅是延伸了先驱者作品的学术生命和意义,更重要的是对过程中的社区进行新知识基础上的再诠释.而"超越"所展现的学术意义则不仅仅在于努力赋予人类学视野下村落研究的合法性,还在于在超越中使其得到持续发展.     

新时期以来唐诗学研究述论

新时期以来的唐诗学研究,在学科的理论性探讨上取得了初步的成绩,在唐诗学史的考察上呈现出多方位展开的态势,标示着唐诗学研究正日益成为甚具生长性的古典文学分支学科。同时,也存在研究视域不够开阔、理论探讨尚嫌单薄等不足。     

全球化语境中的中国妇女学建设

中国妇女学全球视野与其行动的均衡点决定中国妇女学的生命力,即妇女学能否在国内广泛渗透和扎根,成为社会机体的一个有机组成部分,从而影响、改变民众的日常生活、行为、观念,而不仅仅停留在教学与科研环节,以学术为壁垒,把妇女学看作是精英妇女的自留地。妇女学发展需要兼具两个功能,一个是专业化,突出对专业人员的提高功能,另一个是通俗化,强调对公众的普及功能。中国妇女学建设是手段,而不是目的,是开始,而不是结束。

从女性到女星：民国上海电影女演员职业化进程研究

民国时期,上海的电影女演员是影响都市文化生产和消费的重要力量。19世纪二三十年代,国产电影在上海进入蓬勃发展的黄金时代,在尚有社会歧视和家庭阻力存在的大环境下,少数女性通过电影学校或公开招募等途径进入电影表演行业,演员逐渐成为颇受关注的一项女性职业,女明星即为其中的佼佼者,她们活跃于银幕与舞台之间,时至今日仍然是民国时期重要的象征符号。     

Cultural Studies and The expand of Cultural Sociology Imagination

The rise of cultural studies had an important influence on the development of sociological theory and cultural sociology,on the one hand it brought “culture” turn of sociology, on the other hand it also brought “The Sociology of Culture” turn to “Cultural Sociology”, in the double “turn”, the disciplinary boundaries and imagination of cultural sociology, in the field of ideology and gender, popular and mass culture, fashion and consumption culture, have also been greatly expanded.     

国内领导风格研究综述

西方领导风格的研究始于上个世纪70年代,在学习、借鉴西方研究成果的基础上,国内学者运用个案研究、实证研究、比较研究等方法,在不同类型的领导风格研究方面形成了一批文献成果。领导风格量表解析了领导风格的概念结构,概念结构因子方面的差异是区分不同领导风格的评判依据。多个中介变量影响着领导者与被领导对象之间互动关系的建立与演变,一种领导风格发挥作用需要一定的情境条件,也存在失效的情形,要选择与组织文化匹配度高的领导风格。     

国际关系研究的话语权之争 ——兼论中国国际关系研究的学术自觉

二战以后,美国一直掌握着国际关系研究的话语霸权,塑造了国际关系研究的基本范式并从学理层面论证其霸权合法性。冷战结束以后,出于理论发展的需要与国际政治现实的挑战,国际关系研究逐渐呈现出多元化态势,欧洲国际关系研究在研究取向、研究方法、研究议题、理论流派等方面与美国展开了积极的话语权竞争,成就了“欧洲视角”,在一定程度上消解了美国的话语霸权。近年来,随着国际政治格局的调整与地缘政治重心的东移,国际关系研究的亚洲意识也逐渐觉醒,中国国际关系研究的自主性建设已初见成效,学术自觉与学术自信有所提升。但中国国际关系研究在话语权建设上存在诸多不足,应进一步强化学科内涵建设,推动理论创新;寻找西方学术话语体系的突破口,挖掘新的研究支点;拓展话语平台,为外交话语体系提供学术支撑。只有制定正确的话语权战略并付诸实施,才能从根本上提升中国国际关系研究的竞争力。
